Closed issue by wAmpIre on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/5029

Description:
### System

* xuname:  
  `Void 4.18.19_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel/KVM uptodate rF`
* package:  
  `batman-adv14-2013.4.0_8`

### Expected behavior
- Should compile with newer kernels
- 4.9 works
- 4.14 and 4.18 don't work
- "gluon" guys already fixed this (de facto upstream/maintainer for "batman-adv-legacy")

### Actual behavior
```

$ mv batman-adv14-2013.4.0/ batman-adv14-2013.4.0.orig
$ git clone https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/batman-adv-legacy.git batman-adv14-2013.4.0
$ dkms install batman-adv14/2013.4.0 --force
$ rmmod batman_adv
$ modprobe batman_adv
$ modinfo batman_adv
